Answers: So and so talks around blah blah blah and explains, "Quote Quote Quote (authors last nickname page)."
It depends on formatting and what you are adding or shifting.
The basic answer is to shroud the words you are adding next to brackets. When they appear within a quote, they alert reader that the words inside the brackets are yours and not from the quoted source.
Another way is to preserve the quoted material inside the quotes and to keep the added bits and pieces out of them. For example:
The book said, "Shorelines are complex," and added that they are formed under "varying circumstances" that include...
"Shirley walk to the window," which I thought be a stupid thing for her to do, since the contract killer was out in that.
If your additions would not make the above a tremendously easy proposition, you probably should switch from direct quotation to indirect quotation. In indirect quotes you alter the contents of the quote through paraphrasing or some other process. In this case you could simply put in "The book said" or "Hitler said" to the beginning of the modified quote. Make sure you don't use quotation grades for the indirect quote.
